Weather in Vila Sol Golf & Resort

The weather here is no different from what you’ll observe in other parts of the Loulé region; bright and sunny for most of the year with the interruption of a relatively mild winter. From as early as April temperatures begin to average in the twenties. This warmth continues to increase as the year progresses, culminating in August when days with temperatures over 30°C are not uncommon. Little to no rainfall is experienced during this season. Only as winter takes over from autumn does some rain begin to fall and by December averages of over 100mm are recorded.

Travel to Vila Sol Golf & Resort

Like most other Algarve tourists, holidaymakers booked into Vila Sol Golf & Resort holiday apartments and homes will fly in through the Faro or Lisbon Airports.

Coming in through Lisbon means an additional four hours by train or booking a connecting flight, which is not cheap.

Brilliant villa in a quiet private estate. Can't fault the beautifully designed house or the incredibly helpful owners. My father-in-law loved it so much that he spent most of our trip reworking his plans for next year so that he could stay there with us again next summer!

A lovely villa with several good quality bars and restaurants within walking distance. The villa was great , very spacious and incredibly well equipped. Even with 10 adults we never felt cramped as the villa provided a spacious lounge and superb kitchen and outside dining space. The pool was a good size and the surrounding garden was a bonus- providing ample room to play table tennis, badminton and to kick a ball about. The local taxis were friendly and reliable anytime we wanted to venture further afield and could take up to 6 people. The photos on line do not do it justice. So much nicer in reality than the photos. A great villa and a lovely holiday we would definitely consider returning again.

My family and I had the privilege of spending our summer holidays in this Amazing Villa, excellent layout, very tastefully decorated and offering a very clean and homely feel. Having visited Portugal in many previous occasions I personally think that Villa Ra is in the perfect Location to explore surrounding towns, beaches, enjoy dining al fresco in Vilamoura marina, and many many more activities. However the best thing was being able to return to a safe and quiet sanctuary at the end of the day, some days it was just a dash to the supermarket for supplies (5mins away) and just spend the day enjoying the sun and brilliant pool. All this is made possible by a brilliant team working behind the scenes to ensure your holiday goes smoothly …..A Big thanks to Antonio Palma and all the Seashell team!!
